[SCG] 1963 Corvair Fisher Body tag ACC codes

[Kent Sullivan]

Rick, thanks. I believe that the enthusiasm will need to include
volunteering to check out other '63s that you know about--club members'
cars, cars at shows, etc.

I hope there is more enthusiasm for the 63's but neither of my 63's fit the
criteria that would help.

Hi again,
 
Well, I have not received any responses yet. No enthusiasm for '63s? I'll
wait another couple of days to see if anyone responds.
 
Thanks.

Hi folks,
 
Below is what we know to date about Fisher Body tag accessory codes for '63
Corvairs.  This list represents initial work done by Larry Claypool several
years ago, published as one of his "Stock Is..." columns in the CORSA
Communique (April and October 1992). The data he collected were from an
owners' survey.
 
A couple of years ago I began working on the project, to fill in some gaps.
I made some progress. Bill Hubbell and I would like to have SCG work as a
group answer the remaining questions and then publish the updated results.
 
We need to see some cars that are relatively rare, in terms of how they were
equipped:
*         Cars with rear seat speakers
*         Non-Monzas with fold-down rear seats
*         Cars with heater delete
*         Non-Monza sedans with rear door armrests
Please let us know if you can help.
 
Thanks,

Willow Run  & Van Nuys 
 
Group 1
*         E = tinted glass, all 
*         F = tinted windshield 
*         L = ? (may be fold-down rear seat on non-Monza--only have one
example so far and it's on a 700 coupe and it does have a fold-down rear
seat)
Group 2
*         C = padded dash 
*         D = power convertible top 
*         E = A/C  
*         L = manual transmission (VN only)  
*         M = PowerGlide 
*         Y = rear seat speaker (need at least one more example to
completely confirm)
Group 3
*         C = Spyder (turbo exhaust cutout)  
*         P = ? (VN only) -- might be Comfort and Convenience -- as with
'65, may indicate two-speed wiper and washer (carryover from FS Chevys built
in same plant)
Oakland 
 
Oakland of course is very different--no group numbers and many of the
letters try to be mnemonic. 
*         A = Air conditioning 
*         E = Tinted glass, all (E-Z Eye)  
*         K = Rear seat speaker (would like to have another example to
confirm) 
*         P = Padded dash 
*         W = Tinted windshield 
*         X = Spyder (turbo exhaust cutout)
I would suspect additional codes to exist for heater delete and rear door
arm rests. Front seat belts were also offered as an option, but according to
the info we have, Chevy installed them for most of the production year... So
unclear whether there would have been a code for them at the end of the year
when Fisher took over installation.
